Fangpo Village, Xuwen: The southernmost coral poetry of mainland China, even the salt fields are writing love poems As soon as I stepped into the alley paved with coral stones, the fish painted on the wall seemed to swim right into my eyes. The guesthouse hostess handed me a cup of salt soda: "20°13′14″ N latitude, this is the southernmost romantic coordinate of the mainland, even the sea breeze carries a salty sweetness." In the distance, the salt fields shimmered like someone had scattered stars on the mudflats. 🐚 Coral Stone House: Breathing for hundreds of millions of years The old houses built with coral stones can "breathe." Running my fingers over the wall, I could feel the fine textures of coral polyps—"These stones lived in the sea for hundreds of millions of years," the hostess tapped the wall, "The older generation collected them to build houses, and in summer, it's cooler than air conditioning." The best part is the artistic murals. On one wall, a fishing boat is smashing into the sunset, with cartoon coral polyps swimming in the waves; around the corner, a poem by Hai Zi is painted in the shape of ocean waves: the character for "flower" in "Facing the sea, with spring blossoms" is made from shells. A girl stood in front of the wall taking photos, her skirt brushing against a cactus sprouting from the stone cracks, startling a white butterfly that had been resting on the mural. Inside the Coral Museum, live corals slowly stretch under the soft blue light. Staghorn coral looks like branched tree branches, and small fish hide in the folds of brain coral. The guide pointed to a piece of pink coral: "It grows 0.1 millimeters every day; this 'flower' has bloomed for 500 years." In the touch pool, a starfish crawled on my hand like a moving piece of sandpaper, causing children to exclaim in delight. 🌅 Salt Fields and Twin Seas: Nature’s Palette The thousand-year-old salt fields are the blush on the earth. Each salt pond glows orange-red, silver-white, and light purple under the sun. An elderly woman harvesting salt walked barefoot on the dikes, the sound of the wooden rake scraping the salt grains like falling snow. "This is the 'Bagua Salt Field,'" she said with a smile, pointing to an aerial photo, "The ancients dug it according to the Bagua pattern, and the salt here tastes a bit sweet." The "Twin Seas Wonder" at dusk leaves people speechless. The waters of the Qiongzhou Strait and the Beibu Gulf meet here, with blue and green waves colliding to form a silver line. The sunset dyes the sky orange, and the reflections from the salt fields and the golden shimmer on the sea surface merge into one. Couples stand by the stone monument engraved with "Southernmost point of mainland China," their shadows stretched long as if about to merge into the sea. Children gathering sea creatures carry small buckets, and hermit crabs with colorful shells scurry wildly on the beach. One crab suddenly stopped beside the landmark stone marked "20°13′14″ N," as if reading the romance of these numbers. The hostess said, "At low tide, you can find star-shaped coral fragments, which locals call 'stars of the sea.'" 🌌 Coral Guesthouse: Falling asleep to the sound of waves At night, the guesthouse looks like a stranded ship. Moonlight filters through the coral stone walls, and you can hear the tide under the bed. The hostess brought salt-baked shrimp: "Baked with salt harvested today, the shell is so crispy you can chew it directly." The camping lights in the yard are on, the windmill spins in the sea breeze, and the Milky Way hangs so low it seems about to fall into a wine glass. Photographers set up cameras to shoot the starry sky; the Milky Way stretches across the sea in their lenses, and the windmill’s shadow gently sways on the sand. "At 4 a.m. there are blue tears," the hostess said, "Last year a couple stayed up for three nights to capture it; the seawater in the photos looks like it’s sprinkled with fluorescent powder." Practical Guide · Transportation: 2.5 hours by car from Zhanjiang city (navigate to "Fangpo Village, Xuwen," free parking at the village entrance, the last 5 kilometers is a coastal road where you can stop anytime to take sea views); from Xuwen county town, take a bus to Jiaowei Township (8 RMB/person), then a taxi for 10 RMB to the village. · Costs: Entire area is free! Coral Museum is free (registration required), sea gathering tools can be borrowed from the guesthouse (shovel + bucket 5 RMB/set), salt-baked shrimp 35 RMB/serving, extremely cost-effective. · Must-do list: 1. Learn salt harvesting at the salt fields: find the elderly woman at 9 a.m., she will teach you "raking salt" and "collecting salt," and you can take home a small jar of salt you harvested yourself (free). 2. Night search for blue tears: highest chance from April to May, use a strong flashlight to shine on the sea surface, the blue light fluctuates with the waves like a star river under the sea. 3. Coral DIY: The guesthouse offers a DIY coral painting experience (20 RMB/person), using collected coral fragments to make patterns, and the hostess will help frame it. - Hidden romance: Find a heart-shaped coral stone, write your loved one’s name in the salt field; when the tide rises, the salt characters will be washed into the sea. Locals say "this way the sea god will remember it." When leaving, the hostess stuffed a bag of salt into my bag: "This is the 'southernmost salt,' it will remind you of the taste of the sea when cooking." Looking back, smoke rose from the chimney of the coral stone house, the salt fields shimmered silver in the morning light. The most artistic secret place requires no ticket, just waiting for you to come and read the poetry of the sea. What is your idea of the "southernmost romance"? Is it the embrace of the twin seas, or the poems written by the salt fields? Share in the comments~

China's Antarctic Village 📍Location: Fangpo Village, Jiaowei Township, Xuwen County, Zhanjiang, Guangdong. This is the southernmost point of mainland China, echoing the Arctic Village in Mohe, Heilongjiang. It is just over 20 km across the sea from Hainan. The Qiongzhou Strait and the Beibu Gulf meet here, and the terrain resembles a horn extending into the sea. ✨Key highlights 1. Dengloujiao (Landmark) Features two lighthouses (old and new) and a stone monument marking the "Southernmost Point of Mainland China." There is also a sculpture commemorating the liberation of Hainan. This is the best spot for watching the sunrise and sunset. 2. Confluence Line · Intersection of Two Seas The waters of the Qiongzhou Strait and the Beibu Gulf collide here. At low tide, a long, narrow sandbar is revealed; at high tide, "kissing waves" (cross-currents) appear. The water colors on either side are different, creating a unique spectacle. The view is tide-dependent and not always visible. 3. Coral Stone Ancient Houses (Fangpo Village) Local old houses are built with coral stone walls. Known as "breathing houses," they are warm in winter and cool in summer. The village features artist-run guesthouses, a lighthouse library, and a coral museum. Legend has it that when Su Dongpo was exiled to Hainan, he landed and stayed here, which is how the village got the name "Fangpo." 4.

Be sure to check the tide table for the Confluence Line sandbar; it only appears at low tide. 2. The UV rays by the sea are extremely strong, and it gets windy in the evening. Bring sunscreen, a light jacket, and beach shoes. 3. Protect the coral; do not touch or remove live coral.

Suixi's attractions are divided into three areas: The county seat area features Confucian culture and ancient villages/towns; the Huanglue and Lingbei area features lion dance (intangible cultural heritage) and pastoral farms; the western coastal area features fishing ports, islands, and sunset beaches. These three areas are 40–50 km apart, so you can't do it all in one day; two days is just right. Must-visit top 5 Confucius Culture City: Suixi's top attraction, a large-scale cultural scenic spot built to 5A standards, and the largest Confucius temple complex in western Guangdong. The 72m Confucius bronze statue, Dacheng Hall, Analects Corridor, Wenchang Pavilion, Lingxing Gate, Nine-Turn Bridge, and Junzi Lake combine "ancient, Confucian, water, and green" elements.

Open 8:30 AM–5:00 PM. Longwan Lion Dance Heritage Base (Huanglue Town): Suixi is the "Hometown of Chinese Lion Dance," and Suixi lion dance is a national intangible cultural heritage. The base displays various lion head props, costumes, and musical instruments, and you can see the complete lion head crafting process. High-pole lion dance rehearsals often happen around 3:00 PM; if you're lucky, you might get to try on a lion head for photos. Free. If you're making a special trip, call ahead to check rehearsal times. Caotan Jiaotousha Scenic Area: Known as the "Maldives of Zhanjiang." The beach is wide and flat. The sunset turns the sea golden, and you can go coastal foraging for clams and shells at low tide. Free. The best spot on the western coast of Suixi for just relaxing. 🌿 Niche but worthwhile Su'er Village: Named after Su Dongpo, who visited this lychee village twice. One of the best-preserved ancient villages in western Guangdong, featuring Ming and Qing dynasty "wok-ear" houses and a thousand-year-old lychee forest. Quiet and full of history.

Jinguiling Agricultural Park: Known as one of "Guangdong's Top 10 Most Beautiful Farmlands." Combines agriculture, fruit picking, and dining. You can pick dragon fruit and guava; there's also a children's playground and barbecue area. Liuniutan Waterfall: Formed by spring water and overflow from Guantian Reservoir. With a drop of about 5m and a width of about 20m, it features a valley, waterfall, and deep pools—a great place to enjoy water and rocks. Xiayang Dongzheng Cultural Village: The starting point for the Guangdong-Guangxi Border Column of the People's Liberation Army. Features a revolutionary history memorial hall and a Red Culture Square. Rich in revolutionary history. Huanglue Anti-French Memorial Park: Features monuments, reliefs, and shaded walkways. Quiet and uncrowded. On the way to the Longwan Lion Dance Base, just a 5-minute drive away.

Suixi County Museum: Free (closed Mondays). Collections range from the Neolithic Age to modern times. The Han dynasty bronze drums and Tang dynasty porcelain are highlights. Recommended as your first stop. 🗺️ Route planning Essential 2-day: D1 Suixi County Museum → Confucius Culture City (including night view) → County night market; D2 Longwan Lion Dance Base → Huanglue Anti-French Memorial Park → Su'er Village/Tiaofeng Village → Luogang Town. Coastal 2-day: D1 County seat + Confucius Culture City night view; D2 Jianghong Daybreak Fish Market → Xianqun Island → Caotan Jiaotousha for sunset. In-depth 3-day: Combine the two above. D1 County culture, D2 Lion dance heritage + ancient villages + Luogang Town, D3 West coast foraging and sunset. Family: Luogang Town (castle + pets + rides) → Jinguiling (picking + BBQ) → Yuelong Lake (lakeside cycling). Low intensity, many activities. 📸 Photo tips Confucius Culture City is best from dusk to night; the "blue hour" with the eaves lighting is most atmospheric. Early morning is best for clean shots of Dacheng Hall with fewer people. Use a wide-angle lens for Xianqun Island's beach and coastline. The half-hour before sunset is the golden window. Aerial shots capture the "ribbon" shape. For Jiaotousha sunset silhouettes, have people stand on the mudflats and underexpose against the backlight. Use a high shutter speed for high-pole lion dance to capture the moment the lion leaps. The "sea of lights" in dragon fruit fields is best in summer and autumn nights. Use long exposure for the light sea; remember a tripod and mosquito repellent. Suixi's attractions are "diverse" and "relaxed"—Confucian culture, lion dance heritage, pastoral picking, fishing ports, and islands all in one place, and almost never crowded. Pick two or three things that interest you and take your time; it's much better than rushing to five spots in one day.

The Antarctic Village Confluence Line is a unique geographical wonder formed by the convergence of the Qiongzhou Strait and the Beibu Gulf. It is also the most iconic natural geographical phenomenon at the southernmost tip of mainland China. I. Basic geographical definition Geographical location: Located in the Dengloujiao area of Antarctic Village, Jiaowei Township, Xuwen County, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province, near 109°55′ E and 20°13′ N, it is the outermost tip of the horn-shaped peninsula extending into the ocean. Core attributes: It serves as both a natural boundary between two different sea areas and a convergence zone where a long, narrow sandbar extends into the ocean. This differs from the concept of a confluence line in typical valley topography. II. Geographical formation mechanism Terrain: The horn-shaped cape of Antarctic Village, surrounded by the sea on three sides, is situated exactly at the junction of the Qiongzhou Strait and the Beibu Gulf, providing natural spatial conditions for the direct convergence of the two seas. Tides: There are differences in tidal patterns between the two sea areas. During high tide, tidal waters from the Qiongzhou Strait and the Beibu Gulf surge toward the cape from two different directions (east and west), and the difference in water levels causes the seawater to compress and collide. Currents: The Qiongzhou Strait is influenced by the South China Sea warm current, while the Beibu Gulf is controlled by coastal currents. The seawater in these two areas differs significantly in temperature, salinity, density, and color. After converging, they do not mix completely immediately, forming a clearly visible boundary line. III. Unique geographical features During high tide, the bidirectional tidal currents surge to form rare "cross waves," also known as "lover's tides" or "kissing waves." After the tide recedes, a narrow, V-shaped silver sandbar emerges, serving as a physical boundary marker between the two seas. The special latitude of 20°13′14″ N passes right through this spot. Its homophonic sound in Chinese means "love you for a lifetime," giving it a unique cultural and romantic attribute. IV. Geographical significance It is a rare natural landscape on the mainland coastline of China where "one place sits between two seas," and it serves as an intuitive geographical marker distinguishing the boundaries of the Qiongzhou Strait and the Beibu Gulf. The surrounding area is equipped with contiguous national-level coral reef nature reserves. The water disturbance caused by the convergence of the two seas provides suitable environmental conditions for coral growth.

🌞 Must-have outfits August in Zhanjiang is honestly tough under the sun! The high temperature combined with humidity makes walking outside feel like being in a sauna 🥵. Sunscreen, a sun/rain umbrella, and a small fan are essential 🌂. For clothing, light-colored, breathable, sweat-wicking clothes are the best choice, plus a pair of comfortable sneakers 👟—walking on the bluestone streets of Chikan Old Town in heels is pure torture. Don’t forget mosquito repellent; the mosquitoes in the old town are fierce 🦟. 🚫 Pitfall guide Zhanjiang’s spending habits can really throw you off—not because it’s expensive, but because it’s so cheap it feels unusual 😂. But a few pitfalls need to be pointed out in advance. It’s not recommended to order seafood directly at the stalls outside scenic spots; the prices can be shockingly high 💸. The right approach is to pick your seafood yourself at the Xiashan seafood market, then have it cooked at nearby stalls. The cooking fee is 10–20 yuan per dish, about half the price of ordering at a restaurant! Always weigh your seafood in front of the seller before ordering to confirm the price and weight. Only vendors with clear pricing are trustworthy ⚖️. Also, August is peak typhoon and thunderstorm season, so keep an eye on the weather forecast before you go to avoid ruining your trip with heavy rain 🌧️. 🦪 Authentic food Coming to Zhanjiang without eating seafood is a wasted trip! Charcoal-grilled oysters are the top late-night snack. Garlic charcoal-grilled oysters burst with juice as soon as they’re served. Small ones cost about 3–6 yuan each, large ones 8–12 yuan each 🦪. Chikan Old Town has the highest density of snacks: Ersao shrimp cakes cost about 11 yuan each, Grandma Tian’s Ai rice cakes about 5 yuan, and Skinny Ghost’s traditional sweet soup about 8 yuan. You can eat your fill on one street for just 30–50 yuan per person 🍜. For authentic Cantonese flavor, He Ji Anpu chicken restaurant’s white-cut chicken costs about 50 yuan per person. The skin is crispy, the meat tender with some bone marrow and a hint of blood, and dipping it in sand ginger soy sauce is amazing 🐔! Sandworm porridge and mud clam porridge are also specialties that adventurous eaters shouldn’t miss. 🚗 Transportation guide Arrive at Zhanjiang Wuchuan Airport, about 40 km from downtown. The airport shuttle costs 30–50 yuan one way and takes about 70–100 minutes, offering the best value 🚌. A taxi costs about 120–180 yuan. If you have a lot of luggage or are traveling with elderly or children, booking a ride through a ride-hailing app is the most convenient option 🚕. City buses cost 2 yuan per ride. Shared electric scooters are 3 yuan per 20 minutes, and riding along the seaside promenade is super enjoyable 🛵. To get to Naozhou Island, take a taxi from downtown to the Southeast Pier, then transfer to the ferry. You can rent an electric scooter on the island for 30–50 yuan per day to explore. 📸 Must-visit spots Booking tickets on Trip.com is super convenient. The top recommendation is Jinsha Bay seaside promenade, which is free! The "Orange Sea" sunset in the evening is breathtakingly romantic 🌅. Chikan Old Town is also free. It was a filming location for "The Bad Kids," and the century-old arcade buildings make every photo look like a vintage masterpiece 🏛️. For geological wonders, visit Huguangyan, with a 50 yuan entrance fee. This maar lake was formed by a volcanic eruption 160,000 years ago. The lakeside trail is flat and easy to walk 🌋. Families with kids can visit the Military Culture Expo Park. Adult tickets are 38 yuan for the land and air equipment area and 45 yuan for the naval equipment area with warships 🚢. If you have more time, head to Naozhou Island. Round-trip ferry tickets from Southeast Pier cost 118 yuan. The professional sea-harvesting experience ticket is 78 yuan for adults 🦀. Or visit the South Pole Village on the Chinese mainland for an 88 yuan adult experience ticket. There, you can see the meeting point of the Qiongzhou Strait and Beibu Gulf waters. The coordinates at 20°13′14″ N symbolize "love you forever" 💕. For a sea cruise, the Red-billed Gull boat day ticket starts at 158 yuan ⛴️. 💡 Itinerary suggestion: Day 1 Chikan Old Town + Jinsha Bay sunset, Day 2 Huguangyan + Techeng Island, Day 3 Naozhou Island or South Pole Village, choose one. August in Zhanjiang has no high price anxiety. Avoid the midday heat and typhoon days, and the rest is sea breeze, oysters, and romance 🌊. Book your flight and hotel on Trip.com and just pack your bags!

Guangdong hides a volcanic island that’s wilder than Weizhou Island. Naozhou Island, under Zhanjiang’s jurisdiction, is China’s largest volcanic island. The black remnants left by volcanic eruptions 500,000 years ago show how seawater and volcanic rock have intertwined through an entire geological era. Nayan Bay volcanic rock | stones forged by seawater The must-see on Naozhou Island is the columnar jointed basalt at Nayan Bay. One million hexagonal black stone columns line the coastline, as if someone split a whole mountain into pencils and neatly stuck them into the sea. At low tide, walking on the volcanic rock reveals small crabs and transparent sea anemones hiding in the cracks. It’s rough underfoot but fun to explore. The volcanic rock here is darker, more orderly, and covers a larger area than Weizhou Island’s. It’s Guangdong’s only world-class volcanic geological site. Naozhou lighthouse | a world heritage site as old as London’s lighthouse Built by the French in 1899, Naozhou lighthouse is one of only two crystal Fresnel lens lighthouses in the world (the other is in London, UK). The black-and-white cylindrical tower stands 23 meters tall. The crystal lenses inside were hand-polished over 100 years ago and are still functional today. Looking up from the base, the weathered paint on the tower evokes a century of maritime history. It’s one of Guangdong’s most photogenic landmarks. Stone trail | a wooden boardwalk hanging on volcanic rock Walk a 1 km wooden boardwalk along Nayan Bay, right next to the columnar jointed basalt coastline. Beneath the boardwalk are black lava flows from millions of years ago, sculpted by seawater into shapes resembling turtles, reclining Buddhas, and even alien faces. Halfway along, a small viewing platform leads down to the rocky shore where you can pick up volcanic stones with air holes—more authentic than any souvenir. Naozhou sunset | the most beautiful sunset in the Beibu Gulf Naozhou Island lies at the eastern edge of the Beibu Gulf and is one of the last places on mainland China to see the sunset. At 6:30 PM, the sun slowly sinks below the Beibu Gulf horizon, turning the entire sea orange-red. The black volcanic reefs become silhouettes against the sunset, and the waves splashing on the rocks glow golden in the backlight. It’s ten times quieter than Sanya’s sunset and more spectacular than Weizhou Island’s, and best of all, there’s no admission fee. Fishing port pier | Zhanjiang’s freshest seafood market At the southeast corner of Naozhou Island is a fishing port pier where fishing boats return at 5 AM, so fresh the catch is still jumping. Abalone, sea urchins, crabs, mantis shrimp, prawns, flower crabs... prices are half those in downtown Zhanjiang. Next to the pier, local fishermen run open-air seafood stalls where you can pick and have your food cooked on the spot. Steamed grouper and garlic vermicelli scallops come highly recommended. 🍤 Eat along the way Naozhou Island is small, with dining mainly at the pier and town. Recommended dishes: Naozhou abalone, steamed grouper, boiled prawns, steamed sea urchin egg custard. There’s a local favorite called "Old Fisherman Seafood House" in town, open for over 20 years. The owner’s wife is a local fisherwoman, and the cooking is authentic. 🚗 How to get there About 1.5 hours’ drive from downtown Zhanjiang to the southeast pier, then a 30-minute ferry to the island. Take the high-speed train to Zhanjiang West Station, transfer to a bus to the southeast pier, then take the ferry. It’s recommended to stay overnight on the island to watch the sunset and collect shells the next morning. 🌋 In a nutshell Naozhou Island isn’t a “beach island” but a “geological museum still venting steam.” An island forged by volcanoes, seawater, and wind 500,000 years ago.

First time posting on Trip.com. Since I found many of my photos were stolen on Trip.com, I decided to post simultaneously on other platforms to prevent image theft. · 60 days, 6,000 kilometers. Starting from Nanjicun, the southernmost point of mainland China in Zhanjiang, heading straight to Mohe Beijicun, the northernmost point of mainland China. One person, one car, leisurely cultural photography with stops along the way. By the time you read this post, I am already on the road. · Nanjicun is located in Jiaowei Township, Xuwen County, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province, at 109°55′ E longitude and 20°13′ N latitude. It is surrounded by the Qiongzhou Strait and Beibu Gulf, with terrain extending like ox horns to the junction of the Qiongzhou Strait and Beibu Gulf. · The village is small. Compared to other beach resorts, it has much less commercial atmosphere. Several villages and dozens of kilometers of beach form a secluded paradise. The water quality is good. At sunset, the windmills, cacti, lighthouse, and old buildings fulfill all your seaside fantasies. Highly recommended. · The trip lasts about 60 days: 12 days in Guangdong-Guangxi, 10 days in Hunan-Hubei, 16 days in Shanxi, 12 days in Hebei-Mongolia, and 10 days in Inner Mongolia-Heilongjiang. Driving yourself, no special difficulty, but posting one article every day for 60 days is quite a challenge. Greater Khingan Range, my spiritual home, here I come. July is still distant summer.

The smoothest way now is: Take the high-speed train to Zhanjiang West Station → book a carpool in advance on a ride-hailing platform → about 70 RMB straight to Jiaowei The driver will drop you off right at the guesthouse. The whole trip takes about two and a half hours If driving from Guangzhou, take the Shenhai Expressway then switch to the Zhanxu Expressway, about 6 hours total In 2026, all roads in Jiaowei Township have been repaved with smooth black asphalt Just navigate to "Mainland China South Pole Village"—the signs are very clear ⚠️ There’s no public transportation inside Jiaowei Township! If you can’t ride an electric scooter, you’ll be stuck It’s best to ask the guesthouse owner to rent one for you, about 40 RMB per day 🏠 【Where to stay? My personally tested hidden gem coral house】 ⛰️ The guesthouse is next to the South Pole Village Art Community in Fangpo Village. Enter through the village archway, take a turn, and you’re there. It’s a 3-minute walk to the sea but off the main road, so very quiet at night ⛰️ The whole house is built with coral stone, a "breathing old house." In July, no air conditioning is needed at all—it naturally stays warm in winter and cool in summer! The second floor has a huge south-facing sea view terrace 🌅 with no obstructions. Watching the sunset from the lounge chair is simply divine ⛰️ The yard is full of bougainvillea and hibiscus, with a small tea table 🍵. Brewing a pot of old salt lemon tea at dusk while feeling the sea breeze—that’s what a vacation should feel like✨ 📍 【3 days 2 nights itinerary · just follow this】 🔸 Day 1 arrival + sunset at Dengloujiao Arrive in the afternoon and settle in, then head to Dengloujiao around 4 or 5 PM!

Watch the sunrise at Dengloujiao at 5:30 AM, check the tide schedule At low tide, you can hunt for shells and little crabs 🦀 (remember to bring gloves) In the morning, visit Baoxi Salt Field, where traditional salt harvesting looks like a "sky mirror" In the afternoon, ride an electric scooter along the windmill road, with giant windmills spinning overhead Search for "Monument" to find the best photo spot—looking up makes for amazing shots 📸 🔸 Day 3 artist village + return trip The coral stone art space is great to explore There are handmade workshops, a coffee bar, and various graffiti walls Before leaving, sit at the coffee shop under the tree—the stone archway with the sea view is stunning Their old salt pineapple lemon water is the most refreshing drink I’ve ever had, no contest 🍍 🍽️ 【Dining tips to avoid pitfalls】 Jiaowei Township mainly has seafood stalls, but it’s tricky! ✅ Buy seafood yourself at Jiaowei Market, then find a shop to cook it. Ask about cooking fees in advance ✅ Always ask if the seafood is wild-caught or farmed when buying ✅ Follow local aunties for buying— they have sharp eyes you can trust Highly recommend trying boiled oysters and steamed grouper. The oysters in July are plump and juicy 💡 【July tips for Jiaowei】 1️⃣ Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! The UV here is stronger than in Sanya 2️⃣ Mosquitoes come out at dusk, bring insect repellent 3️⃣ The sea breeze is salty and fishy, so pack wet wipes if you’re picky about cleanliness 4️⃣ Make sure to come on a sunny day! The tidal convergence line doesn’t look good on cloudy days 5️⃣ Check the tide schedule carefully when tide hunting. Leave quickly when the tide comes in—don’t get carried away 6️⃣ Dengloujiao is free to enter, no ticket needed 🆓 Honestly, Jiaowei Township isn’t the kind of place that wows you at first sight But once you stay here, you’ll realize The sunrises, sea breeze, coral stone houses, and the slow pace of life Will make you forget it’s still 2026 🫧

🍍 Sweetness at 20° north latitude: a romantic guide to Xuwen’s “sea of pineapples” If the wind had a shape, it would be the rolling pineapple fields of Qujie town in Xuwen; if romance had coordinates, it would be at the southernmost tip of the mainland at 20°13′14″ north latitude. This is not the Baltic Sea of Northern Europe, but a red earth more passionate than the sea. Three hundred thousand acres of pineapple fields weave a timeless pastoral poem at the southern end of the Leizhou Peninsula, painted by God with fiery red, vibrant green, and dazzling gold. 💌 Romantic itinerary: from the song of the earth to the love of the two-colored sea Day 1: fall into the golden dream of the colorful countryside Morning | encounter the summer of Hayao Miyazaki: drive along Provincial Road 376, known as “China’s most beautiful rural road,” where red earth and green waves intertwine.

Overlook the ocher hills like frozen waves, with giant wind turbines turning leisurely among the clouds, like a breathtaking scene from The Wind Rises. Noon | a sweet and sour love letter for your taste buds: find a farmhouse restaurant in Qujie town and order pineapple fried rice or sweet and sour pineapple pork. At “Under the Tree Coffee,” try a special pineapple coffee, where rich fruit aroma blends with smooth coffee fragrance in the breeze. Afternoon | send out sweet thoughts: stroll through the colorful countryside filled with the scent of fermenting fruit. Stop by the “Xuwen pineapple post office,” pick a postcard for each other, stamp it with a special postmark, and send this sunshine-warmed sweetness to someone special, the address can be your shared cozy home. Evening | chase the orange sunset glow: drive to Nanjicun village and stay at the “artist village” guesthouse built from coral stone. Wait on the balcony for the sunset, watching the sea turn a gentle orange-pink under the fading light. Day 2: listen to the tides at the southernmost tip of the mainland Early morning | witness the embrace of the two-colored sea: rise early to Dengloujiao to watch a stunning sunrise over the sea. Stand here with the deep blue Qiongzhou Strait on your left and the jade-green Beibu Gulf on your right. Two currents meet here, forming a clear “confluence line” where people, sea, and land embrace tenderly. Morning | stroll through a breathing fishing village: enter Fangpo village and wander among ancient coral stone houses. Walls are covered with ocean-inspired graffiti. Feel the sea breeze and see if you can hear the sigh of Su Dongpo when he landed here a thousand years ago. Noon | head to a seafood feast: at seafood stalls in Nanjicun or Jiaowei township, order freshly grilled oysters and boiled shrimp, paired with a bowl of sweet sandworm porridge, letting the ocean’s gifts soothe your palate. 💡 Romantic travel tips Best time to visit: April to June is the golden season for ripe pineapples, with fields of gold and the richest fruit aroma. If you prefer lush greenery, the March–April flowering season has its own charm. Outfit tips: wear a pure white or light yellow long dress and a wide-brimmed straw hat. Against the backdrop of red earth and golden pineapples, you’ll be the most vibrant part of this painting. Field protection: pineapple leaves have tiny thorns on the edges, so wear comfortable long pants and sneakers. There’s no shade in the fields, so apply sunscreen and bring insect repellent. Take home the romance: you can’t take the whole sea, but you can bring home some sweetness. Fresh fruit is sold directly by farmers at the field’s edge, and pineapple cakes or dried pineapple make great gifts. In this place favored by time, slow down, let the sea breeze brush your hair, and let the fruit aroma nourish your soul. Visit Xuwen’s “sea of pineapples” for a date with sunshine, earth, and sweetness.   Xuwen · Zhanjiang

It is the site of the starting port of the Maritime Silk Road during the Han Dynasty. The scenic area is open all year round, free of charge, with no admission ticket required. A free parking lot is available at the entrance. It preserves Han Dynasty relics such as the replica Han southern gate complex, an 82-meter-long ancient stone wall modeled after the Han city wall, the sea worship platform, and the octagonal navigation stone marker. Precious artifacts like the “Wansui” tile eaves and turtle-shaped bronze seals are displayed in the Yanketang exhibition hall. The largest “Fu, Lu, Shou” stone dog statues in Guangdong stand here, known as the “Southern Terracotta Warriors.” It features 8.03 hectares of mangrove wetlands, listed in 2025 as an important provincial wetland in Guangdong, serving as a winter habitat for migratory birds. Visitors can enjoy the unique “confluence line” where the waters of the Qiongzhou Strait and Beibu Gulf meet, with a strong sunset atmosphere in the evening.

Located in Jiaowei Township, Xuwen County, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province, it is the southernmost village on mainland China. The terrain extends into the sea in the shape of ox horns, surrounded on three sides by the Qiongzhou Strait and the Beibu Gulf. It covers an area of about 37 square kilometers and has a population of about 32,000. In 2024, it was rated a national 3A-level tourist attraction. Historically known as "Ji Nan" and "Jin Nan," it is known as one of the "three southernmost points of China" along with Eluanbi in Taiwan and Lingao Cape in Hainan. Denglou Cape is the southernmost geographic landmark on the mainland. The waters of the Qiongzhou Strait and the Beibu Gulf meet here, forming the "confluence line." At high tide, the unique "cross waves" (also called "kissing waves") can be seen. The coordinates at 20°13′14″ north latitude sound like "love you for a lifetime," making it a well-known romantic photo spot. During the Song Dynasty, Su Dongpo stayed here when he was exiled to Hainan, giving rise to the name Fangpo Village. During the 1950 liberation of Hainan Island, Denglou Cape was one of the key embarkation points for the PLA’s sea crossing operations. The command post site for the Qiongzhou crossing still remains. Recommended period: November–February, with an average daily temperature of 18–25℃. The climate is comfortable for avoiding the cold, and seafood is fresh and delicious. Notes: UV rays are very strong from June to September. Be sure to take full sun protection and avoid traveling during the midday heat.

China Mainland's Antarctic Village is located in Jiaowei Township, Xuwen County. It is not an administrative division but a tourism zone planned and developed by Xuwen County starting in 2016 as a tourist resort area, covering 12 administrative villages. It is named for being situated at the southernmost tip of mainland China. On the map, the Leizhou Peninsula looks like an arm reaching into the South China Sea, Xuwen County resembles a fist, Jiaowei Township is like the raised pinky finger, and Dengloujiao is the fingertip of that pinky. Dengloujiao, along with Taiwan's Eluanbi and Hainan's Lingao Cape, is known as the "Three Southernmost Points of China" and is the southernmost geographical landmark of mainland China. Currently, Dengloujiao is a free attraction (only parking fees apply), and there are not many tourists. This is where the waters of the Qiongzhou Strait and the Beibu Gulf meet, offering a view of the confluence line of the two bodies of water. There are large coral reef groups, and at low tide, visitors can experience beachcombing and shell collecting. Except for two lighthouses—one old and one new—that are taller, the other buildings are low-rise with no obstructions, making it an excellent spot for stargazing and watching sunsets. In 1950, during the liberation of Hainan Island, the first covert crossing started from Dengloujiao, earning the reputation "Liberating Hainan, merits belong to Xuwen." Therefore, Dengloujiao has some relics from the crossing operation, including the command post (bunker) and French-style architectural ruins. Not far to the north is the "Crossing Operation Memorial Monument." Tourism facilities at Dengloujiao are simple, with only three or four small hotels available for accommodation. There is little local cuisine, so to enjoy good food, visitors need to go to Jiaowei Township, about a 10-minute drive away. However, precisely because there are few such facilities, camping here is quite nice—watching the stars and sunsets without much light pollution.
